All our proven live seminars are also available as customized school seminars – adapted to the type of school, grade levels, and current challenges of your school.

🧠 Brain-Friendly Learning and Teaching

What the brain really needs – and how schools benefit

When does a person learn most effectively?
And why does learning often fail not because of willingness, but because of the method?

Current findings from brain research and learning psychology clearly show:
Learning works particularly well when it is brain-friendly, emotionally engaging, and meaningfully structured.

In this seminar, teachers gain an understandable insight into central learning principles – including topics such as motivation, attention, repetition, and meaning.
Insights from the work of Vera F. Birkenbihl are incorporated, as are many years of practical experience from schools and further education.

Your Benefit:

Greater understanding of learning processes in children & adolescents
Concrete starting points for effective teaching
Relief through methods that simplify rather than complicate learning

📌 Ideal as a pedagogical introduction or common basis for a faculty.

Price: upon request
📩 We would be happy to create a customized offer for your school.

🎲 Playful Learning with Speedolino & Co.

Why learning sometimes needs to get started playfully

No one would expect peak performance in sports without a warm-up –
so why in the classroom?

This seminar shows how playful elements can be used specifically to activate concentration, motivation, and willingness to learn – without " infantilizing" the lesson.

With the developed learning games Speedolino Classic, Speedolino ALMUT, and the Speedolino Lernrallye, both hemispheres of the brain can be activated, and learning processes can be prepared, deepened, or consolidated.

Participants:

get hands-on experience with the games
experience the effect on attention & memory themselves
receive many ideas for use in different subjects and age groups

📌 Particularly suitable for lively lessons, learning support, and substitute teaching concepts.

Price: upon request
📩 We would be happy to advise you on the appropriate implementation at your school.

🖍 Visualization Techniques in the Classroom

Visually prepared learning material is stored much more sustainably –
regardless of alleged "learning types".

In this practical training, teachers learn effective visualization techniques, including:

Mindmapping & Speedmindmapping
Memoflips, KAWA, KAGA
Combination with the ALMUT memory technique

🎯 Training Goals

Participants:

create creative and clear learning overviews
grasp complex areas of knowledge in minutes

➗ Making Math Fun Again

Rethinking Mathematics – understandable, illustrative, brain-friendly

Further education for mathematics teachers of all grade levels

Many students lose their connection to mathematics early on –
not because they "can't do enough," but because they don't understand the connections and experience arithmetic as abstract, stressful, or meaningless.

This teacher seminar shows how mathematics can be taught in an understandable, structured, and motivating way – with simple, brain-friendly methods that can be immediately implemented in the classroom.

The focus is on:

sustainable number concepts instead of rote memorization
visual and structural approaches to arithmetic methods
strategies to make arithmetic a solvable, positive experience again

Participants will experience firsthand how mathematical thinking changes when content is clearly structured, vividly presented, and meaningfully connected.

🎯 Goals of the Teacher Seminar

Participants:

understand why arithmetic problems frequently arise
learn methods that make mathematical connections visible
gain new approaches for mental arithmetic, calculation strategies, and number sense
gain confidence in dealing with students who struggle with learning or are blocked
take away practice-proven impulses for motivating mathematics lessons

The workshop is highly practice-oriented:
Teachers experience the methods from the student perspective and can directly transfer them to their own lessons.

📌 Ideal for mathematics departments, support concepts, and pedagogical days.

⏱ Framework & Organization (for all school seminars except student coaches)

Duration: 5 actual hours each
Format: On-site training or by arrangement
Target Group: Teachers, faculty, pedagogical teams
Orientation: practical, immediately implementable, stress-reducing

All content will be individually adapted to the school type, grade levels, and needs of your school.
